CULTIVATING SUCCESS

Food justice is racial justice. Food and agriculture, like everything in this country, are deeply intertwined with our nation's entrenched history of slavery and structural racism. Our food system actively silences, marginalizes, and disproportionately impacts people of color, who are also being hardest hit by COVID-19... Our Latino Farmer Program supports farmers in making their farm businesses succeed. Currently focused in Northwest Washington, we help farmers deepen their knowledge through workshops and courses, write business plans and whole farm plans, apply for loans and grants, connect with markets and buyers, explore new value added products and more... In the light of the ongoing violence against black and indigenous people of color in the United States and beyond, we want to take this moment to share some resources for understanding how racist policies play a role in our everyday lives.
